No, I did not and you repeatedly demonstrated a complete lack of understanding on how democracy works.
Suggesting Biden should intervene in the electoral process is suggesting an action only seen in authoritarian states.
You have an incredibly flawed understanding of philosophy or how anything works here. Is this because you don’t live in a democracy and only understand how authoritarian states like China works?
If you think you have to let murderers free because of democracy, you don’t support democracy, you support murder.
An investigation ending in a jury trial is not, by any standard, despotic nor authoritarian.

The courts aren’t the check in the case we’re talking about, the jury is.

Even if we were talking about a jury that would still ge part of the courts
